Card 1Circular motion

State the meaning of circular motion and uniform circular motion.

Answer

Circular motion is motion in a plane along a circular path. Uniform circular motion is circular motion with constant speed. In uniform circular motion, speed remains constant but velocity changes cont

Card 2Uniform circular motion

Why does velocity change in uniform circular motion even when speed remains constant?

Answer

Velocity changes because velocity depends on both speed and direction. In uniform circular motion, speed stays constant, but the direction of motion keeps changing along the tangent to the circle. The

Card 3Angular displacement

A particle moves on a circle of radius 5 m and covers an arc length of 10 m. Find the angular displacement.

Answer

Given: arc length ΔS = 10 m, radius r = 5 m Formula: Δθ = ΔS/r Step 1: Δθ = 10 m / 5 m = 2 Answer: Δθ = 2 rad

Card 4Angular displacement

State the formula for angular displacement and give its SI unit.

Answer

Formula: Δθ = ΔS/r Meaning: ΔS is arc length and r is radius. SI unit: radian If ΔS = r, then Δθ = 1 radian.

Card 5Angular velocity

A body completes one revolution in 4 s. Find its average angular velocity.

Answer

Given: time period T = 4 s Formula: ω̄ = 2π/T Step 1: ω̄ = 2π/4 s = π/2 rad/s Answer: ω̄ = π/2 rad/s

Card 6Angular velocity

A wheel makes 3 revolutions per second. Find its average angular velocity.

Answer

Given: n = 3 rev/s Formula: ω̄ = 2πn Step 1: ω̄ = 2π × 3 = 6π rad/s Answer: ω̄ = 6π rad/s

Card 7Angular velocity

State the formula for instantaneous angular velocity and its unit.

Answer

Formula: ω = dθ/dt Meaning: angular velocity is the rate of angular displacement. Unit: rad/s Dimensional formula: [T⁻¹]

Card 8Linear and angular velocity

A particle moves in a circle of radius 2 m with angular velocity 5 rad/s. Find its linear velocity.

Answer

Given: r = 2 m, ω = 5 rad/s Formula: v = rω Step 1: v = 2 m × 5 rad/s = 10 m/s Answer: v = 10 m/s
